My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

Lu Yinheng was stunned when he saw Ji Yunshuang, who hadn't expected her to come to Zhenxiguan.

He stared blankly at Ji Yunshuang, wondering if he was seeing things.

He had fantasized about this scene many times. But he was also aware that it was just his imagination.

Looking at him, Ji Yunshuang felt inexplicably happy and gave him a big smile.

Lu Yinheng's heart pounded instantly, and he suppressed the urge to embrace her in public, asking, "Why are you here?"

Ji Yunshuang smiled and said, "I came to check on the situation here."

She said she came to check on the situation in Zhenxiguan, but Lu Yinheng couldn't help but wonder if it had anything to do with him.

Thinking about the letter his son had secretly written to him, his ears burned, and he felt as if he had secretly done something wrong.

He suppressed his excitement and awkwardly said, "Then shall I take you to see it?" After saying that, he suddenly realized that he had said something foolish.

She had just come from Jiangzhou. Even if she was of a different status than ordinary people, there was no reason for her to immediately bring people with her on official business upon arrival.

The powerful minister who once held immense influence in the court now blushed like a young boy and awkwardly changed his words, saying, "I... I'll take you to rest first. After you've rested, I'll arrange for you to go and look around."

Ji Yunshuang was indeed quite tired.

After all, she was just bragging outside; she wasn't actually a deity.

She nodded and said, "That's fine."

Lu Yinheng immediately gave instructions to the guards beside him and took Ji Yunshuang back to the manor. It wasn't until long after the two had left that the guards realized what had just happened.

"Who was that just now? She looks like a fairy!"

“Who else could it be but His Majesty the Divine Lord? Didn’t you see how completely bewildered His Highness was just now? He was completely different from usual.” said someone who had previously served Lu Yinheng and Ji Yunshuang and had seen Ji Yunshuang before.

Upon hearing this, everyone exclaimed in realization, "That's His Majesty the Divine Lord! He truly is a chosen sage ruler, with an extraordinary bearing. Even his mount is so majestic and awe-inspiring."

Some people wondered, "How did she know His Highness was here?"

Some people speculated, "She's a deity; if she wants to know something, she can just calculate it with her fingers."

Someone asked in surprise, "Does that mean she can calculate everything?"

The guard who had recognized Ji Yunshuang earlier said, "Is there any need to ask? If it weren't for His Majesty's brilliance and flawless planning, could we have eliminated the witch and those monsters so quickly?"

The soldier who had killed the monsters immediately said, "Yes, yes, you have no idea how terrifying those monsters were. If it weren't for His Majesty, we would all have become their food. We were able to survive thanks to His Majesty."

Everyone felt both grateful and admiring.

After a long pause, some people belatedly realized that they seemed to have forgotten to bow to Ji Yunshuang.

Someone worriedly asked, "Were we being extremely disrespectful just now? Will His Majesty punish us tomorrow?"

The guard who had previously served Lu Yinheng and Ji Yunshuang said, "Don't worry, Her Majesty is different from the emperors you've heard of before. She doesn't care about formalities. As long as you have talent and make achievements, you may be promoted."

When you're following behind His Highness, try to learn as much as you can and keep up with His Majesty's pace. But what we used to know about winemaking won't be of much use now.

Everyone agreed with his words.

Indeed, it feels like the changes in Daqi under the leadership of Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng are truly remarkable.

Many of the concepts and ideas that Lu Yinheng mentioned were things they had never heard of before and dared not even think about.

Everyone felt a sense of urgency.

Many of them were originally just ordinary soldiers. In the past, their chances of promotion were slim.

Perhaps he will only ever be a lowly soldier.

Or perhaps they died on the battlefield.

It was after following Lu Yinheng that they had more opportunities and more possibilities.

On the other side, Lu Yinheng rode his horse alongside Ji Yunshuang.

The horse Lu Yinheng was riding was the one Ji Yunshuang had kept in her space. Unlike ordinary horses, it was not afraid of tigers.

However, although it was not afraid of tigers, its speed was no match for Tianrui.

Ji Yunshuang asked Tianrui to slow down.

Tianrui glanced at the horse beside him and let out a low growl of disdain.

"Is it tired?" Lu Yinheng asked nervously, gripping the reins tightly. "How about we ride together?"

"Okay!" Ji Yunshuang patted the tiger's head, signaling Tianrui to stop.

Lu Yinheng immediately pulled on the reins, stopping his horse, then dismounted and waited for Ji Yunshuang.

After Ji Yunshuang put Tianrui into her spatial storage, she mounted her horse. Lu Yinheng waited until she was seated before mounting his horse and gently placing his hand on her waist.

He finally managed to pull the person into his arms, his palms sweating.

To ease his tension, he talked to Ji Yunshuang about his accommodation.

"Conditions at Zhenxi Pass are harsh, and there aren't many good residences. I'll be staying at General Wei's residence for now. There are a few other people there besides me. Once you've moved in, I'll send the others out."

Ji Yunshuang didn't care where she lived.

She has space, and within that space is a folding villa, so she can live wherever she wants.

The main reason was that she brought Lu Yuzhu and Gu Chunzhi along, and their safety had to be ensured.

She said, "Zhuzhu misses you very much. When we arrive at the manor, I will bring her out to see you. Yan Qi has requested to stay in Jiangzhou. I have given him some weapons and left some men to protect him secretly."

She left the guards who originally protected Gu Chunzhi to Lu Yanqi.

In addition, he arranged for people to protect him secretly.

Lu Yinheng knew that Lu Yanqi, like him, had also been reborn, and that Ji Yunshuang must have made thorough arrangements before leaving him in Jiangzhou.

He was not worried about his safety.

But his youngest daughter—he hadn't been able to protect her in his past life. He vowed to protect her in this life, but in reality, he hadn't fulfilled his responsibility either. It was she who truly protected his daughter.

He sincerely said, "Thank you!"

"What are you thanking me for?" Ji Yunshuang asked.

"Thank you for everything you did for them, thank you for protecting them," Lu Yinheng said.

"There's no need to thank me," Ji Yunshuang said. "They are my children too! Isn't it only right that I protect them?"

Lu Yinheng was shocked by Ji Yunshuang's words.

She also admitted that the child was theirs together.

Actually, long ago, Ji Yunshuang's appearance became completely different from that of his wife in his previous life.

At first, he thought it was because one's appearance reflects one's inner state.

Later, I learned that she was not an ordinary person, but a deity.

He assumed that Lady Ji had eloped with someone in this life, just like in her previous one. It was only because of her interference that she hadn't been able to take her daughter with her.

She didn't want to reveal her identity as a deity, so she impersonated Ji Shi and stayed by their side as his wife to facilitate their actions.

It wasn't until later, when the witch caused chaos and monsters roamed the world, that she revealed her true identity.

She never imagined that she was only using his position as his wife to act, and that she would actually treat Zhuzhu and the others as her children as well.
